Will It Play In Peoria?

Located along the Illinois River, Peoria is truly the heart of the Midwest with its close proximity to Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis and Des Moines.

Peoria is the oldest community in Illinois and a three-time All American city winner. We love living here and you will too. With friendly citizens, affordable housing and an enviable standard of living, we have it all.

In our city of almost 113,000 (almost 1 million people over 60 square miles), we enjoy safe streets, first-class medical facilities, ample shopping and a thriving economy. Home to the world headquarters of Caterpillar, Inc. and many other global industries, we’re a growing dynamic community.

With a picturesque skyline, towering buildings, charming shops and award-winning golf courses you’ll experience sophisticated culture, ample entertainment and down-to-earth living without the traffic of comparable cities.

Experience Peoria at it's best!
